Hi everybody,

A researcher hired by a fellow genealogist has generated a list for the surnames appearing on the Fond 22 Opis 1 Delo 100 of the 1858 census (it will be online on the Odessa database by the end of the month).

I'd like to generate the same index for all the know "delos" (volumes) available for Odessa on the Kherson archives as a first step, and then to identify and get full information of selected Jewish records on a second time.

I think that the index will give genealogists a very good idea of what they can find on the archives and where to easily find for their family. If we collect enough money we will then begin to acquire the full information.

For that we need money to hire the researcher. All donations, no matter the amount, will be welcomed.
You can do it through the Odessa document acquisition and translation projects fund at http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=22

This is the list (numbers are Delo numbers, Fond 22 Opis 1):

31. Census of citizens in the town of Odessa, Kherson gubernia (region) for the years 1857-1858.
32. Census of honorable citizens and tradesmen citizens in the town of Odessa, Kherson gubernia (region) for the years 1857-1858.
34. Census of tradesmen and citizens (Karaite) in the town of Odessa, Kherson gubernia (region) for the years 1857-1858.
Comment: this file seems to be about Jewish people.

Hi everybody,

Here's another great discovery by Marilyn Robinson:

The detailed contents of the Odessa Rabbinate Records (fond 39) is available on the Odessa State Archives webpage at http://derjarhiv.odessa.gov.ua/Main.aspx?sect=Page&IDPage=44303&id=130

There's a pdf file for each "Opis" (1 to 6) specifying it.

I've placed a copy of these files on the page of the Odessa KehilaLinks dedicated to the Archives

Regards,

Hi everybody,

As promised, a new book (1908 All Odessa Directory) is online on the Books Database of the Odessa KehilaLinks.

By the moment is only readable but in the future it will be searchable too (I don't advance dates for that).

Enjoy,

"Julia B": 4/9/2010:at the end of the book is a list of application-fund N359 Odessa philistine council of Jewish residents - 1894-1919 years for the burghers and their addresses.

This book is not dedicated to specific people. This book - an overview document of the Odessa archives on the history of the Jews of Odessa. This is an index - an application to the book. There is only the information that I wrote.

What can be learned from it? There is a fund of 359, which contains lists of posemeynye townspeople of Odessa. If not mistaken, these lists were drawn up for the military presence and are not included in all family members (as in fairy tales registered males), but only those who are dependent on the person. Typically, this is my wife (if the person is married) and children (if any). If you have a wife, then the date of the wedding and the number of entries in the register (very useful information for genealogists, by the way). How to get to these lists? You should write a request to the archive with details of the case (fund 359, inventory 1, file lists, and - from the book).
